Hopefully he ensures this never happens again once he's in power. Wait a second...

Depends on the pub.

Whoa, Black Betty.

Was your mate an owl? Hate to tell you, but people call it squash here too. Squash might only be for orange-flavoured diluting juice though. I've never heard anyone refer to "apple squash" or similar. Oddly, I don't think anyone drinks squash-flavoured squash.

That just sums up the Democratic Party in general TBH. The people in cherge are quite comfortable themselves and blissfully unaware that, to millions of people, democracy doesn't seem like anything particularly worth holding on to now. It also doesn't help that America could go full fascist next year and it wouldn't affect the important people in that party at all, other than losing any serious political career that they had. None of them have to worry about being deported, executed, or having their assets seized, and have the option of fleeing the country if any of that was ever on the cards. Frankly, they could use the fear of genuine persecution as a motivator.

Jesus Christ. Where are you boys finding this stuff? Asking for a mate.

^^^ reported for Nigelism.

I always assume the very worst will happen in any given situation, so Trump to win, then die, and JD Vance to be sworn in on January 20th. On the positive side, there's always the possibility that thermonuclear war might break out over the next couple of months.

I'm absolutely chronic with accents. I've found myself listening to broad Yorkshire or Lancashire accents, knowing I've heard them before, but struggling to place where they're from. Blows my mind when people can differentiate between Forth Valley accents, but some folk have an amazing ear for this stuff. I had a drunk Derbyshire woman at work who was delighted to meet someone from "my part of the world" a while back, which amazed me as I spend my first decade in the West Midlands but didn't think I had any of the accent left. Apparently there's still enough that she picked up on it just by me saying "that'll be £4.99, please"

I think it was @Lisa Cuddy who used to endure shameful comments about Quality Street consumption on here (definitely not by me). Got to admit to being quite impressed by the imagination shown on that NHS survey.

If this doesn't stop young men fighting in our inner-city streets, nothing will.

You should ask them. I can tell this is going to keep you up until you have an answer.

Aye, but maybe @carpetmonster has a gatling gun or some shit. You'll never know if it's time to upgrade unless we discuss it.

I'd suggest that Steven Smith of Milngavie has mates at the BBC, but it's surprisingly easy to get the press to publish any old shite just to fill space.

That's hilarious. I wonder how they fantasise they'll be spending their 1.555g bars of silver after society collapses.
